Legendary folk singer and social activist Pete Seeger has passed away at the age of 94, but his songs and words will live on.

Best known for eco-folk ballads such as "Where Have All the Flowers Gone" and "Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season)", Seeger became somewhat of a spiritual icon throughout his career, often noted by the pacifist and contemplative themes of his songs.
